The National Monuments Service's description
A burial ground here now consists of an uncultivated area, c. 18m E-W and c. 14m N-S, although it was formerly more extensive, a section having been converted into a garden. There are a number of graveslabs, most of which have collapsed. Close to the N side of the site is a block of stone .59m x .4m with a depression .3m x .24m and 0.06m deep. The site is located in good land on a gentle E facing slope overlooking the estuary of the Glenna River.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
